Hirose's CX70 is a USB Type-C connector with a mid-mount USB 3.1 efficient design that offers a compact footprint to save valuable PCB space. Featuring a depth of only 8.35 mm, the shorter design allows additional PCB space for optimizing antenna design and / or frees up space for increased battery capacity.

The hybrid CX70 series simplifies retrofit and repair operations by utilizing both SMT and through-hole soldering. The hybrid design also facilitates automated optical inspection and eases reworking of the solder terminal joints with a visible lead design. As a USB 3.1 Type-C connector, it features a symmetrical mating design that allows for reversible plug insertion. The mid-mount, 24-position, CX70 series USB 3.1 has a rating of 5 A for a total of 100 W of power.
